Iran takes 15 year old boy hostage as ransom for brother

The eldest brother of Mohammad Saber Malek Reiesi, a 15 year old Baluch boy who was taken hostage 14 months ago by the Ministry of Intelligence asked human rights activists in a letter to do their best to save his brother’s life.

Mohammad Saber was arrested along with two of his other brothers because his eldest bother Abdolrahman was not willing to cooperate with the Ministry of Intelligence. Intelligence agents went to their parent’s house and told them that if they did not hand in their eldest son, they would execute their three sons in prison.

This letter reads in part:

I am the eldest brother of Mohammad Saber Malek who was arrested on September 24 while he was with his smaller brother in the Ali Ebn Abi Taleb Hospital in Chabahar. He has been kept in a state of limbo for 14 months in the detention centers of the Intelligence Agency in Zahedan.

Ministry of Intelligence agents have constantly called my family and demanded that they turn me in as the condition for releasing my smaller brother and my family in under psychological pressure. Because of these threatening phone calls by the Ministry of Intelligence, my elderly father is in a dangerous physical condition.

All these threats and mental pressure on my family is because I was not willing to cooperate with the Ministry of Intelligence who wanted me to be spy for them in sessions of the Sunni clerics and the people of Baluchistan. I left the country for security reasons…

After my family and the headmen (in their region) pursued this issue, my two brothers were released after four months on a 70 million toman (about 70,000 dollar) bail but my smaller brother was not released. The Ministry of Intelligence is harassing my family to put me under pressure to turn myself in. (Human Rights Activists in Iran – Nov. 20, 2010)

Families of political prisoners denied cash subsidies

Despite the fact that cash subsidies that have been transferred to the bank accounts of the heads of families are still not usable which has led to population to question this issue, the government has prevented this money from being transferred to the accounts of the families of political prisoners.

Those who were arrested before the Smart Subsidy Plan have been prevented from registering to receive the cash subsidies.

Prisoners whose families had registered for them noticed when they went to the bank that the cash subsidies have not been transferred to their accounts. 

With this illegal measure, the government thinks that it can put pressure on political prisoners and their families. (Daneshju News – Nov. 20, 2010)
